For our signature rankings, we use use more than one statistic. With this year's program managers, we used four: the number of advisers they oversee, team assets under management, percentage growth in team production, and production per adviser.

Here we show the program managers who topped the list in each of those individual categories. We also added two more metrics here that we didn't use in the overall ranking (percentage growth in team assets, and tenure in the wealth management industry.)

Multiple metrics: Best by category
